Ok so exactly how mbin spots cross posts at the moment. But combining the comment sections is a cool idea. Obviously requires your server to be subscribed to the different communities, but still cool 👍

What happens when three different users post libks to the same article? Or when the test is different? Basically how do you match these posts?

https://youtu.be/-8bTquKjzos That sums it up. The definition of what counts as “selling data” changed…

The mozilla thing seems to be mostly bad PR, but yeah…

More than once 🙈

Nope Interstellar is still solo

We also have a magazine dedicated to release information with a more detailed changelog: [email protected] For the latest release: https://gehirneimer.de/m/mbinReleases/t/451780

you can use https://browser.pub/ I like it very much for that use case :)

Hi there mbin dev here. The interaction with mastodon is possible: you can follow people, you can see posts from people from mastodon (just in the “microblog” tab, not the “threads” tab), but it has not been the main focus since mbin was created and has therefore not made huge progress. We have plans to improve the microblog side of things (or at least I have), but there were just so many behind the scene problems with the code that needed fixing (and still need improvements) so we focused more on that.

I will not promise anything, but I want to have threads and microblogs in the same list and I am thinking of adding a “timeline” tab that works more like the microblog style that people know. However development has not started on that, yet and we therefore do not have a release with which this is expected or even an ETA.

The same can be said about gmail and it is the same kind of problem here. Yes lemmy.world is not a profit orient it giant, but it is still a problem when one actor has this power over a federated network. (the scale of the problem is of course a lot larger with gmail)

My guess is that they just needed to have their own community for a lot of stuff because so many instances are defederated from them. Though I am not sure…

Give it a thumbs up so we know what to prioritize 😊

I’ve been focusing on the backend and federation stuff. But I promise that we will implement it this year :)

You cloud give mbin a try its developers are nice people :) Although there is only one app for it (interstellar)
